Assuring accuracy and efficiency
In simulations of human activities such as running, hundreds of individual musculotendon models turn on and off to swing the arms and legs. Naturally, these simulations can only be as accurate and...

Filling a gap in single molecule experimental work
Scientists sometimes find themselves up to their elbows in Styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, and metal rods as they try to build models of the molecules they are studying. Now, they can exchange all...

Confidence boost for modelers
It’s often said that all models are wrong, but some are useful. And one model that certainly falls in the “useful” category is the human lower-limb model that Scott Delp published...

AMOEBA's polarizable force field now integrated with OpenMM
Many have long hoped that molecular dynamics calculations—the computation of how molecules move and interact with other molecules—would revolutionize the world of synthetic chemistry,...

New release improves both GUI and API
OpenSim, the neuromuscular modeling and simulation software, is now available in a new digit: 3.0. The change (up from 2.4) reflects significant improvements that make this open source tool more...

A unique opportunity to build both flexibility and high performance into a piece of software.
OpenCL is a cross-platform language for doing general purpose computation on graphics processing units (GPUs) and other massively parallel architectures. One of its most interesting features is the...
